Thus begins my live as a blogger. First post and it is bitter sweet as the reason I am creating by blog is because I am leaving my wonderful friends. My family and I are selling our house and moving to California. We are excited for this new adventure but sad to leave our friends and family.
After five days on the market our house is under contract.
We had to do a lot of work in the yard to get it ready so hear are some before and after photos.

The back yard. We just reused these same bricks as well as some that were in the side yard to do the back patio we now have
Tada!!!
This looks even better now that I rearranged it a little and put down some bark.
My Mom did the majority of this project while I was on bed rest and then while I was lying in bed with baby C. She had to dig a 4foot x 12foot hole for that patio. What we wanted to do next was put a door from the basement out to the patio. Alas, this will not happen.
I don't have pictures of the side and front for the before pictures but believe me it was really bad!!! a yucky chain fence in front a falling down fence with an ugly patio step then on the side. I don't know what these people were thinking. But so you can appreciate everything we accomplished in 3 days here is where we stopped in July because it was too hot for C and I to work. (we did had the stone wall that was not there before)
Yes I built those steps all by myself!
This is the side yard, There was half a path of broken cement under all of those weeds haha
And now
MOVE THAT BUS!!
A huge thank you to the Hamilton family. They laid all this new sod in an hour! AMAZING!
Thank you to the Dalley's for taking all of our leftovers we didn't know where we were going to put it all
A great big thank you to my Mom for the beautiful back yard. It has been wonderful.
Of course thank you to the Longhurst Family for all of their time and help. There is no way we could have done this with out you!

Yeah! Your blog is up and running AND I'm the very first person EVER to comment on it! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yes, your yard is BEAUTIFUL. I can't believe how much you were able to do in so short a time. When I talked to Amy {R} yesterday she said they are looking to buy. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE CALLED HER WHEN YOU PUT IT ON THE MARKET!!!! Oh well, no one could ever truly replace ya'll anyway. I wish you well in your move but will miss you like crazy. As will my boy.
Lora - you must have commented in the last 15 sec!!! Argh.
Anyway, yay, yay, YAY!! Thank you for doing this for us! Your yard does look awesome, btw.
